fenders are in demand, period! S13 hatch and coupe fenders are NEEDED! the lip + bumper are not. yeah, it might be nice to a very select few to buy a brand new bumper or lip, but to the majority, what is DESPERATELY needed is fenders.
and again, I am trying to figure out what factories are able to produce parts. this has nothing to do with demand or who makes what aftermarket replica of the original, and I am not making any distinction between OE vs replica quality.

I am probing the parts ordering system to see what can still be sourced. If that's still confusing to you, then I don't know what to tell you.

Turns out, 180SX fenders are available to order as well.

We'll see in 6 months if they show up.

Fenders are ready to ship in Asia, currently trying to figure out next steps in logistics to get it stateside...

I can ship it tomorrow from Asia but the landed cost will be quite high due to the low volume of this shipment.

Woah, that's awesome! One side came up discontinued when I last looked into 180SX fenders about a year ago or so. Perhaps that wasn't the case...

Im curious to know who/ where you are ordering from?

Also...would it be a sin to roll and pull my perfect metal silvia fenders? I bought some 17x9 +20 and they are sticking out a tad, so Im trying to decide which route to take....

I'm not ordering from North America or Japan part systems. All S13/180SX fenders are listed as discontinued within those two systems.

I need to add:

I am trying to figure out logistics for these because if I were to ship them as-is, the estimated inbound shipping charge to the US alone is approx. the cost of the fenders new before when they were orderable from Nissan Motorsports.

That would make each pair of fenders $1400+ after I take into consideration my cost to source boxes, to repack, and to ship to anyone interested.

I'm trying to get this down to a more reasonable cost, but keep in mind that I am not Nissan nor am I trying to replicate Nissan's internal parts distribution system. Cheap genuine parts are cheap for a reason, and often times that has to do with a subsidized landed cost.

My check was through the RHD Japan OEM store, so that makes sense. I have sourced quite a few items through them including brand new in box Silvia brick headlights a year or so ago. Fenders bounced back discontinued though.

As for shipping fenders once they arrive stateside, Greyhound would be more affordable I am sure- but there's always a slight risk when using them since the service can be a bit sketchy. I've always had good luck though.

I've seen BRAND NEW OEM Silvia fenders sell for $1400 a pair, but not used ones. Used seem to be $500 at most for a pair if they are mint. Correct me if I am wrong on that though.

I have plenty of options for shipping, I think there's too much dissecting here.

It is up to me to figure out logistics. I'm trying to do it in a cost-effective fashion, but I'm also not doing this as charity work.

LCL shipments are easy, but do you want mangled metal fenders? If so, I'll ship it tomorrow.

I, literally, need to have the freight forwarder package these in a palletized box of some sort so it can be handled at the docks. Or I can ship one 20' container with just these. Either way, we wait...

Update:

Looks like they will be arriving sometime this month.

I will not price them out nor have any of them presold until I figure out the e-commerce setup I want to use to sell them.

Nothing will be shady, everything will be legit listing/payment portals.

^ Lucky, I was saving up to get a S13 one but they discontiuned. Had to buy one from ATL which I guess isnt bad because it was much cheaper but I would of been very happy to get one brand new from nissan.

OP are you receiving 180sx fenders as well or just silvia ones?

I think the people would pay 1G, as that is "reasonable" for the product.

But at 2G's- good luck selling a single set, thats absurd.

I myself happily paid $850 for a very very nice used set. I think at most and being realistic price should be no more than $1200 shipped

the more we discuss what is "fair" to the average forum member, the less incentive there is for anyone (myself included) to try to resurrect product sources for the average person out there.

Can I make it cheap? Sure.. but I gotta sell enough volume to justify my time + my financial investment. If I plugged the money from this shipment into stocks, I would've doubled or tripled my investment in the last 6 months based on the type of stock I hold (BYND, NVDA, AAPL, ROKU, etc)

Plus, me buying inventory and selling 6+ months later is no guarantee I'll make my money back. Once enough people want to buy new fenders, the remaining folks will just sit and wait and I'll be stuck with inventory I can't sell (fast enough).

Don't forget one other thing: I'm having custom double wall boxes made for this. I have to buy the minimum quantity to have the boxes produced, which is 50pcs at ~$22-24 each. Whatever profit I make from the first shipment is going towards paying for boxes that will sit around until the 180SX fenders (and second shipment of S13 Silvia fenders) show up.

I'm not out to price gouge, but I'm also not a bank. The opportunity cost aspect is very important to me, all I ask is people respect what I'm trying to do.

Judging by the other thread about brand new genuine S13 dash, it seems like I'll get a couple of guys willing to buy and that's about it. We'll see when I'm ready to sell in a couple of weeks.
